This book is about the life of New York Yankee Lou Gehric. We read about him growing up in New York City and his mother encourages him to study and work hard. He is motivated to go to college and he later plays for the New York Yankees. The author of the book has a love for baseball and admiration toward Lou Gehric. The illustration also shows the fondness towards baseball and New York and most importantly Lou Gehric. This book is historically accurate and would be a great read for both girls and boys or anyone who loves baseball. I don't want to give away the ending so if you want to know how it ends then you will have to check it out and Read.
